About the program

Students in the Journalism program receive a broad-based education that not only includes the skills needed to excel in a demanding profession, but an education that heightens their ability to report, with knowledge, on topics that surface daily.

Students enrolled in the four-year Bachelor of Communication — Journalism program are prepared to work directly in print, television and online media as editors, reporters, photojournalists, producers and researchers, while also offering a range of communication and computer skills of value for any career choice.

Using state-of-the-art facilities, our faculty of former and current industry professionals are focused on nurturing students’ abilities in a training environment that matches what they will encounter in the work force.
